Basically


Chairman and CEO of Biotechonomy, Enriquez says that humanity is on the verge of becoming a new and utterly unique species, which he dubs #@*! Evolutis. Whatmakes this species so unique is that it "takes direct and deliberate control over the evolution of the species." Calling it the "ultimatereboot," he points to the conflux of DNA manipulation and therapy, tissue generation, and robotics as making this great leap possible.

thanks again tk. i love ted.com now. i will be checking that site daily. you should definitely watch the whole video. it is long but worth. if you don'twant to watch all of it you should forward to 12:20 and watch the robot section. i'll post a youtube clip of it but hearing enriquez explain is veryinformative. big dog is just insane. imagine that thing whirring and coming at you. i would freak out.

 

[its icharlesi]

That was sick. I bet it will be a long time before these resources go mainstream. I sure can use a liver right now.
I'm kind of intimidated by the future if this is the case. What would you do if you can live forever? People could smoke, drink, and get high all day ifthey know they can have a new organ. Damn, it's pretty crazy that we can do all of this in the future.

OP, that presentation was excellent, Ted got my attention the whole time.

When I saw that in the lecture, for some reason, I thought it was a horse's legs

. Crazy if they added some guns on it with bullet proof material. That thing cankill a common man without a bazooka or rocket launcher.

Wow. Great video. It's scary to think that what he was talking about, isn't far fetched at all. I agree with him about our generation being the firstto witness and start to see how the evolution begins.
We'll see...

Watch it. If you have any sort of attention span, or like to think about evolution, science, people, or anything dealing with the future, itdoesnt seem like 20 minutes at all.
